Product Details

This is a compilation of bird recordings from Northern California. The field recordings were done primarily by Ron LeValley with help from the California Department of Fish and Game, Sean McAllister, Mark Higley and Seth Bunnell. Songs and calls were catalogued by Ron LeValley and David Fix wrote and spoke the narration. These sounds were mostly recorded in Humboldt, Trinity and Siskiyou counties. Most species are represented by their most common calls or songs. In many cases, the recordings include sounds from many individuals, illustrating the variation that one might encounter in the field. We have chosen to use some recordings of marginal quality because of their value in helping to learn voice identification. Species are identified after the song or call is played. The tape is arranged following the American Ornithologists Union checklist. 190 species on a double CD set, announced

Our Story

Buteo Books was founded in 1971 by Joyce and Byron Harrell in Vermillion, South Dakota. List number one, on a single sheet of paper, offered some 50 birds books for sale. In 1991 the business was purchased by Allen Hale and moved to Virginia. Today we offer and stock the largest selection of ornithology books in North America; over 2,000 titles in print, including field guides, finding guides, and scientific textbooks. We offer hundreds of rare and out-of-print books, from bargain used books to rare antiquarian volumes. New, used, or out-of-print; Buteo Books is the place to locate that hard-to-find title.
